Good combo for gaming?

[Origin Saint]

Hi there, I was wondering if the laptop I have in mind would be able to run games decently. If I get this laptop with these parts, I would be playing RuneScape, World Of Warcraft, Warcraft, Diablo, and various other games. I'd love to be able to play some of these on Ultra settings, though I realize that that won't happen, especially with a laptop. Anyway, I was planning to get a NVIDIA GeForce GT 540M graphics card with 6GB of RAM and a Intel i7-2760QM Quad-Core 2.4GHz processor. What kind of games could I play with no problem on ultra, what kinds of games could I play on med/high, and what games would I not even be able to play basically? Thank you for your help.

How much are you paying for it?

A 540m isn't the greatest (Well, I wouldn't say any laptop card would be...) but if the price is right and is all you can afford, then it may be a good choice.

It's an extra $100 to add into the laptop I want, and it's the best graphics card available for installation in the customization options. The only other option of a graphics card is the NVIDIA GeForce GT 525M.

Ok, well, where are you buying it from, and what's the total cost for the computer?

I was buying it from Dell, and the finished price, with tax included is around $1,270.

Any of those would blow the pants off that laptop, especially the first one.

I like the first option, though I'm a critic and I'm iffy about buying from websites like Newegg. I do have requirements for the laptop I want though. I want a quad core processor preferably faster than 2.2GHz, at least 6GB of RAM, at least 500GB of memory at 7200rpm (no SSDs), a decent graphics card, and a few extra features. The first one's graphics card would blow mine out of the water but that's about it it looks like, or maybe I didn't look hard enough.

That one has 12gb of RAM, 7200rpm hard drive, and a 2.2ghz processor. I know you said more, but you really wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

And newegg is the most reputable computer store ever.

Hmm. Well I will seriously consider it. But back to my original question, how well can the GT 540M run games? And is there any possible way to swap it out for a new graphics card in the future?
